Search conversations

Request

You can search for multiple conversations by the value of their attributes in order to fetch exactly which ones you want.

To search for conversations, you need to send a POST request to https://api.intercom.io/conversations/search.

This will accept a query object in the body which will define your filters in order to search for conversations.

Optimizing search queries

Search queries can be complex, so optimizing them can help the performance of your search. Use the AND and OR operators to combine multiple filters to get the exact results you need and utilize pagination to limit the number of results returned. The default is 20 results per page and maximum is 150. See the pagination section for more details on how to use the starting_after param.

Nesting & Limitations

You can nest these filters in order to get even more granular insights that pinpoint exactly what you need. Example: (1 OR 2) AND (3 OR 4). There are some limitations to the amount of multiple's there can be:

There's a limit of max 2 nested filters
There's a limit of max 15 filters for each AND or OR group

Accepted Fields

Most keys listed as part of the The conversation model is searchable, whether writeable or not. The value you search for has to match the accepted type, otherwise the query will fail (ie. as created_at accepts a date, the value cannot be a string such as "foorbar"). The source.body field is unique as the search will not be performed against the entire value, but instead against every element of the value separately. For example, when searching for a conversation with a "I need support" body - the query should contain a = operator with the value "support" for such conversation to be returned. A query with a = operator and a "need support" value will not yield a result.
